ATTRACTIVE THINGS IN FLORAL REQUISITES. 



A number of the very latest new 

 things in floral requisites as displayed 

 by M. Rice £ Co., are unavoidably de- 

 layed in this column on account of

the photographs not being ready. We 

 illustrate instead a few of the more 

 popular staples at present, all of which 

 may be included among the out-of-the- 

 ordinary and many of them among tin 

 new and novel Wedding outfits, shep- 



Adjustable Pot Covers. 



herd's crooks and adjustable pot 

 s are among the former and will 

 appeal to our readers from the good 

 in their designing and their ar- 

 tistic finish. There is an improvement 

 on the elastic adjustable pot covet 

 the waterproof crepe paper in two col- 

 ors which has been so popular of late 

 The new pattern is more artistically 

 frilled, shows off the colors better and 

 is said to be no higher in price. 



In the ribbon department special at-

 of ribbons to match the popular ros< s 

 One of the happiest produced so far is 

 the Killaruey pattern. This has a 

 light pink sheen on one side and a 

 dark pink dull finish on the other, se-

 when folded in natural arranging, and 

 an exact match for the difficult flower. 

 Similar effects are in evidence for 

 Richmond, Beauty. Liberty and Mary-

 shades for the same varieties carefully 

 studied out. Another item is chenille 

 cord and tassel with a twisted appear-

Bridal scarfs in Venetian lace and 

 in many filmy and artistic patterns are 

 having a great run.. Two yards long 

 and varying in width from nine to 

 twelve inches. 



Miniature Panama hats are a 

 specialty that pleases many. Can be 

 used for favors and also for cluster 

 flowers in corsage bouquets 



Shields for corsage bouquets are 

 an artistic attempt to protect the dress 

 and yet blend conspicuously with the 



flowers. Some are made of paper, some 

 of satin, the colors are violet, white 

 and pink. 



Lace bouquet holders are a French 

 production. These are wavy and pleas-

ing and of light fluffy outline. The 

 same proposition is also done in a line 

 of chiffons, and the latter are quite 

 unique and distinct from the lace pat- 

 terns. The two ideas are a renais- 

 sance of the old-style bouquet holder 

 shorn of its stiffness and meeting the
